Hurco Training Manuals?

[buccilli15]

Hi all,

I ran a Hurco VM1 for maybe 4 months last summer. It was my first CNC experience and it was a blast......About all I did was use dxf drawings from Solidworks and assign my feeds, speeds, etc...Pretty basic stuff...

To make a long story short I left that company for a design job...full time design isn't as exciting as I thought. Now I have an opportunity for 1/2 design 1/2 cnc and couldn't be more excited. The company has a VM2 and a few old Hawks...Now my question is, does anybody know of any Hurco specific publications? Or even a good "all around" CNC book? Basically, like I stated earlier I have some experience and a TON of learning to do. Any help is much appreciated.

RTFM = Read the Fabulous manuals

I used to run a KM3 with the MaxII control.

The Hurco Conversational language is prolly the most powerful at machine control language out there. Its limited more by the programmers lack of imagination than anything else.

But it is not the most efficient for cutting in a production enviroment. It will cut air, excessive tool retracts, etc which waste time the machine could be cutting.

You need to get and learn a good CAD/CAM package to balance out the Hurco. I would sometimes output G-code to define a pocket profile, then use those numbers in the Hurco.

The manuals I got for both the NC executive and converstaional were actually pretty good - and it helps that you've had hands on so you may recognise the topics presented.

I use to be a Senior Application Engineer at Hurco. The manuals I have are an intro for $40.00 and a advanced for $70.00 includes the intro in it. These manuals have screen dumps and a button by button list of instructions. All commands are in bold and underlined. So you can tell the text from the command. The screen dumps show where you should be (no guessing). I have trained close to 10 classes using these manuals. So they are tested and have a copy write. Send me your email and I will do a print screen on a page and send it to you. gsilberberg@progressive-plastics.net I had my son at 16 program the Hurco I have at work straight out of the manual. He has zero machining experience. He did not even know what he was doing he was just reading the text and doing what it said.

Sorry for the email address here is the real one gsilberberg@progressive-plastics.net email me there. I forgot how to spell my last name. I can ship over a page so you can review it before you buy it. Sure I am a good programer...I just can't spell worth a $%*t.

training manual sample page to send out.doc
Wow dont know if that worked but hopefully. This is just one page. I also will do phone support. I do ball bar testing. I also do in house training or you can come here for training. Intro manual is $40.00 USD and the Advanced is $70.00 USD.
Call for on site training of up to 4 people. One day of training will be for intro and another 1/2 day for advanced. I can do training on the weekend also. It will take 12 hours to do intro and advance training. I can cram it into one 12 hour day but you have to have some experience cnc wise to do this. I can do training on a VM2 at my facility also. Up to 4 people. Weekends only. Unless special agangements are made.
